Prequelle

Product Information

Also, it’s another song about the former Ghouls going by the ‘Swede Saint Peter’ line – Saint Peter, originally known as Simon then later Simon Peter, was Jesus’ closest disciple and while Judas betrayed Jesus to the Romans, Peter also betrayed him by denying that he knew Christ on three occasions. It doesn’t take much to figure out which former Ghoul this references. When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come and see!” I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth. (Revelation 6:7-8)

Well, that'll depend on tastes: as with the Simmons' bunch, I'm not a devoted fan and own just a couple of their albums. I believe there's plenty of bands out there deserving more attention than Tobias Forge's ghouls. To confuse matters even more, the song Witch Image refers to ‘a pale white horse’ but the pale horse is actually described as being pale Green in translations of The Bible which include that horse’s colour. Engineering on the album was by Clif Norrell who has worked with Miley Cyrus, The Rollins Band, REM, Bruce Springsteen and more.

The ultimate guide to Prequelle, the fourth album by Swedish band Ghost with no spoilers to ruin the band mythos. At the 18 second mark of the video we see a Ghoul next to the headstone of Dorothy Ladd which means that Ghoul parts of the video (including indoor shots) were filmed in Mountain View Cemetery in Pasadena, California. The cemetery, its mausoleum and fake morgue are used for filming approximately 60 days of the year and have been used in the Ozzy Osbourne video for Life Won’t Wait and for scenes in The Flash, Sons of Anarchy, Riverdale, The X-Files, The Office, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1 and others.

Edited the description of Meliora, thanks to Vot-Gospod-Satana on Reddit. Added in details on Saint Peter, thanks to Meraxes20 on YouTube reminding me of Sunday School. Chart placings added. Life Eternal is about how everything comes to an end, or does it? We believe death to be the end but if there’s an afterlife then there is no end and that means that a commitment would be eternal, so would you be willing to commit to being the same person forever? Life Eternal Lyrics To confuse matters, the passages above do not name the Horsemen but their names seem to be Conquest, War, Famine and Death. With Conquest and War being essentially the same thing, it was debated that the last sentence of the description for Death was of the Horsemen as a whole, not just Death. Add to this, Revelations was written John of Patmos, Patmos being a Greek island where John would have been exposed to the legends of the Greek Gods including Apollo. Apollo is thought to be the same God as the Hittite and Hurrian God Aplu, the God of Plague and Apollo is said to have spread plague via arrows he would shoot from his bow.

Helvetesfönster translates from Swedish as ‘Hell Window’ and was a style of dress during The Middle Ages which was square cut and revealed a side view of a woman’s breasts. It is the second instrumental on Prequelle. Prequelle’s cover also references the painting of Pope Innocent X by Diego Velázquez (seen below) which is considered to be the finest portrait of all time.
